Correction

The original version of this story had the wrong home state for the woman who died. The story has been corrected to show she is from South Carolina.

San Diego  A South Carolina woman piloting a paraglider died Saturday after a crash that left her suspended on the cliffs of Torrey Pines, according to San Diego lifeguards.

She was identified by the county Medical Examiner's Office as Pamela Hargett, 52, of Inman.

Her boyfriend, also paragliding, saw Hargett hit the cliffs and called 911 just after noon. Lifeguards rappelled down the cliffs above Black's Beach so the woman could be lifted off by helicopter, San Diego Lifeguard Lt. Nick Lerma said.

Once atop the cliffs, the woman could not be revived and was pronounced dead.

The rescue took place about a quarter-mile south of the Torrey Pines Gliderport, a renowned launch point for paragliders and hang gliders looking to ride ocean updrafts.
